It was like any old day at Hogwarts as Katerina Renoir ruled the school she was the epitome of everything the girls wanted to be and the guys worship her but she had one eye for Lucius Malfoy. They've been a couple for the last two years and the summer before her 17th birthday her pretty life came crashing down as if her life wasn't really her's after all. Katerina daughter of Senior Undersecretary John Renoir of Ministry of Magic a very pure-blood as any would come to be she was surrounded with the sacred 23 families as friends except for the Weasleys the traitorous bunch as everyone knows they loved muggles and weren't for blood purity like the rest. Leaving Hogwarts for summer break everyone figured Katerina and Lucius be engaged but as it turns out Katerina wasn't the suitable match for Lucius seems there was a blurb in her family tree she has a aunt that married a muggle and that was a big no-no according to Mr. Malfoy. Lucius breaks up with her right when she was attending her last year at Hogwarts as getting school supplies she was distraught because she had everything planned but now not so much.
Hogwarts was a safe haven for her she focused on her studies but the Daily Prophet showed Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black engaged on the front page she was upset mostly the ire that her best friend stole her boyfriend she shoved the newspaper in fireplace she figured she should move on and what better way than show everyone she's a real Queen Bee. Walking the halls the ground shook because Katerina was walking everyone dispersed to both sides of the wall they knew she was out for blood the guys figured she being single they would have a chance while the girls figured she would need a new bestie given the last one ran off with her boyfriend she was seriously in need of new ones. Katerina clad in her look she twisted her spiral curls around her finger when she sat in class she was the top student but Lily Evans went to showing her up she didn't care for this muggle-witch she shouldn't be at Hogwarts she was just a pest so she thought. In the Grand Hall Katerina was surrounded by a clique she listening to their meaningless conversation she just wanted everything to fade away she got up and left for Slytherin common room. She went to writing in her diary she wrote of how she's losing her mojo and being feared by classmates that she's lost the will to be her. Leaving class one day she caught The Marauders bullying Severus Snape she saw him as a friend she walked over to the ring leader she shoved him she said "Pick on someone your own size" James Potter said "What are you going to do about it?" she said "Much worse, Potter?" Sirius, Remus and Peter looked at her she said "Now, I don't like bullying unless it's me doing it but Severus is my friend you come for him you come for me so if I were you I would cower in your shoes because I mean what I say" she went and helped Severus up and they left.
